Thank you for the info on the glass. I hope it works in the raffles case…

the Raffles ended a little more than half the cost of the vsf… so there is still plenty of budget for mods…
These crystals will not work on raffles cases, these are totally different construction in comparison to vintage rlx.. but no problem - you can easily find the right one on febay or alix.. and also the good news is you do not have to demount the bezel to exchange the crystal..

Hello,

is there anyone else Selling 5513 cases with "Similar to Original" glass? I'm not fully convinced on the dome from Raffles... also the acrilic came out a little too easily...

No. People just buy replacement crystals and fit them to the case and use gs to insure water tightness

The gen xtal is between the mid-case and bezel ring, raffles xtal is mounted in the mid-case:

Does anyone happen to sit on information which (no date) crystals that fit the raffles case and have a slightly less domed profile. IMO the raffles crystal is too raised and if left with few options I would actually prefer a more modern flat look.

Grateful for any pointers.

Can anyone share any feedback on which case/bezel/insert is better. JKF or Bivintage?

I'm looking for the exact replacement xtal, did you have any luck @nyswe ?
